A Fight With Burglars.

James w. Campbell, who resides
at the corner of Jefferson and Mont.
teau streets, had an unpleasant expe.
rier ce with supposed burglars early
yesterday morning. He was awakened
by his wife who heard some one, as
she thought, trying to enter the
front door. Getting up, Mr.. Camp
bell went to the door, but upon open
ing it, saw no one. Just at that mo-
ment he heard noise at the rear
door, and going softly to it and open
ing it quickly, he thrust his hand out
and came in contact with a mans
hat. Springing on. he tackled the
intruder, and a scuff1e ensued, during
which another party whs was with
the burglar took to his heels leaving
his companion to his fate. Mr..
Campbell finally knocked the fellow
down and called for the police, but
none were in hearing owing to the
noise of the trains which were at the
depot. At this juncture Mrs. Camp
bell came to the door and called to
her husband to come for his revolver
which she had in her hand. He
turned to do 50, and the thief took
advantage of the opportunity to skip
out, and Mr.. Campbell let him escape
rather than shoot him. He states
that the men were both white men of
large size and one Of them wore a
white hat with broad rim. Beyond
this there is no clue to their identity.

Filters Which h-a Useless.

The Rhode Island Medical society has just
listened to paper by DR.. Swarts, of Provi-
dence, in which he gives the results of series
of experiments on various devices for filter
ing water at the mouth Of the faucet. These
experiments were carefully made under the
conditions usually presented in dwelling
houses. His conclusions are wholly unfavor-
able to any FORM of filter within his knowl-
edge. He reports that the best of them can
only cleanse the water of possible microbes,
or disease germs, for few hours after their
first application; that after this time it is i'm
possible thoroughly to clean the filter, and it
becomes place of deposit and accumulation
of the germs themselves, which arc liable to
propagate at the ordinary temperature Of
kitchens at very rapid rate Thus the filter
is worse than none. He concludes that the
only safety in the matter is to use that which
is known to be pure, or if this cannot be
known with certainty, to use only water that
has boiled and cooled with pure ices, which is
very conservative and sound advicc.-Boston

A Story of CarSe Sand.

There was n time when List Stsaas me only
man in the world who could Withstand Ihe
charms of Nine. Dudcvant, better known as
George Sand. One day List said to her,
."Mallame, s.. Anthony and are not the only

utTront to her vanity. "Whero are they, and
who are they THE monks of La Grande
-Chartrcuse, madame" replied List, with
smile ''and now may l beg light for my
cigar" George Sand however, did not dis
miss the subject from her mind so carelcssly.
What Il scandal it would cause! But what Il
triumph it would BIO to enter that famous
monastery, within whose walls no woman
had ever set foot. Forthwith she set about
it. She disguised herself as man and went
thither Tho disguise successful. No

On the fourth she met n monk whom she

most to madness, he had fled to La Grc.nde

In Brief, and TO the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one OF
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspepti,s.
But Green August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad brsi-
ness and making the American people So
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember No Happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower brings

Derivation of the Title of "She."

Here is q curious anecdote as to the posi-
BILE derivation of the monoSyllable title Mr..
Rider fIaggard gave his popular romance
When the author of "She" was boy, it seems
that the Haggard nursery reckoned among
its belongings a very ancient and battered
wooden doll, which had been handed down
from a former generation, and WAS regarded,
ugly as it was, with peculiar affection 10y the
girls of the family. The doll, which had lost
its eyes i'll the course of time, was known TO
all the children rs She" this name having
been bestowed, it is said. by faithful old
nurse in the family,s employ.-Figaro.

The Old and the New South.
T.ASllbOrO COurier.l

Prominent men are busy discussing
the comparative merits of the "Old"
and "New South" There are enthu-
siasts on both ides and it is to be re-
GREETED that there should crop out an
inclination to praise the one and de-
tract from the other without proper
discrimination. The Old South may
have had faults and there were imped-
iments in the way. But this did not
hinder it from making great history.
If its sons had been the lazy depend
ents that some of the new generation
are plcturing them, they could never
have made the odd South the grand
and famous country it was. The man
who doubts there were giants in those
old ante bcIlnm days has certainly
been a poor student Of history. Its
matchlcss deeds of valor, it's brilliant
oratory, its massive thought, its grand
| advance in the sciences and in learn
ing, its lofty chivary, patriotism that
never faltered, its political supremacy
all these speak the greatness of the
Old South and belle the statements of
those who would lay unholy hands
upon the sepulchre of their fathers.
No the Old South has made its history
and it is history we should be proud
to CHERISH Its sons do not sleep in
forgotten graves nor was their work
the work of pigmi7s> Let tAe--7New
South do as we'll. 1t can and it
ought but it has not yet done it.
There is work still before us. For
boast as we may, the New South in
many respects, is still many stretches
behind the Old. We have the exam
pie and can shun the faults. The
difficulties that confronted the one are
removed from the other. The advan
tage is ours and the future is inviting.

The Adams Autopsy Matter.

The father of George H. Adams, the young man who recently died at the hospital from the effects of injuries received several weeks ago at Bunnell's Grand Opera House by the falling of a block, is quite indignant because Medical Examiner White held an an- topsy on the body:
 MT. Adams claims that the autopsy was made against his consent and against the wishes of himself and his son, Moses Ad- ans, and that it was wholly unnecessary.
 Coroner Mix said yesterday that Dr. White told him that he was not certain as to the cause of Adams death and that he would like to make an autopsy, as the case was of a peculiar character. The coroner's reply was that he didn't wish to make the State any unnecessary expense, but that if the doc so, and he would be paid for it in case the coroner made use of it.
